Can’t get audio from spdif/aes in

[Vidoje]

SPDIF is for monitoring (output) only! So no way you can capture on DeckLink via this jack.

Hi.
Thanks Vidoje, but I still don

Hi.
I red that the Decklink can’t capture audio unless you capture video at the same time, is this true?
Is really no way to capture just audio?

If the DAT machine has has an SP/DIF optical out,
why not just plug it into your G5’s optical input?
Use any audio app to capture it.

It likes to see a signal on the video in but you aren’t obliged to capture it.

Ok thanks Jason, I would try to capture only audio with a video signal too. but I don

[Jack Bone] “I need to capture in 48000 Hz, G5 audio in is just 44100 Hz”
Not true.
Open “Audio MIDI Setup” (in Utilities folder) and choose you sample and bit rate there.

Hi, Built in audio hardware at any apple computer have allways been limited, I don’t know why but many times is a problem. It can’t in any way capture audio in a different frequency that 44100 Hz. Try Audio MIDI Setup as you say and will see.
Thanks a lot anyway.
But still need a solution with the decklink, At least would like a technical explanation why I can’t capture audio whithout video. Any Blackmagic engineer come here and fix the board! 🙂 (Hey, until now DeckLink worked just great, best quality and best price for hard work HD 444 capture)
greetings.
Jack.

Hi,
Sorry, I was wrong, G5 built in audio It does can capture in 48kHz.
